Mark Scheme
2005 examination June series
Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant
questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at
the standardisation meeting attended by all examiners and is the scheme which was used by them
in this examination. The standardisation meeting ensures that the mark scheme covers the
candidates responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the
same correct way. As preparation for the standardisation meeting each examiner analyses a
number of candidates scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are
discussed at the meeting and legislated for. If, after this meeting, examiners encounter unusual
answers which have not been discussed at the meeting they are required to refer these to the
Principal Examiner.
It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed
and expanded on the basis of candidates reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about
future mark schemes on the basis of one years document should be avoided; whilst the guiding
principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a
particular examination paper.
No method shown:
Correct answer without working mark as in scheme
Incorrect answer without working zero marks unless specified otherwise
Crossed out work do not mark unless it has not been replaced
Alternative solution using a correct or partially correct method award method and accuracy marks as
appropriate
